You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.

I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.

Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.

I'm just trying to score as many runs as I can each time. The more I can make over a hundred, the better.

You try to make sure you have respect for the opposition but still play to win and play hard cricket.

There's always things you want to get better at and learn from but that's something that's quite hard to instil in players.

Every now and then you might have to change things around. It's not something that is good to do a lot - especially with your batting - but every now and then, I don't think it's a bad thing.

This game can be brutal. As soon as you get comfortable, it bites you. You have to stay on it all the time.

You learn from the mistakes you make.

Coming out of the Ashes in 2013-14 and the World Cup in 2015 I realised how much I wanted to be a force in international cricket.

The important thing is to stay very strong with my natural game.

To score runs you have to be pragmatic.

I want to make contributions that help us win Test matches rather than put us in positions where we have to play extremely well to win.

All we can do as players and ambassadors of the game is try to set an example, playing in the right way and make it as entertaining as possible for people watching.

You're always trying to find ways of getting guys in positions in which they will be comfortable.

You don't win games by batting long periods of time.

Time has never really been an issue in Test cricket, especially in the modern game where things naturally move quicker than they have in the past.

We have to be prepared to play some attritional cricket at times.

Every game against Australia matters.
